Why doesn't the NFL wake up and just make an affordable online package for those who wish to catch games when they are either on the road or don't live in the coverage area? Especially those who do not have Directv?

In the future it will happen, but probably the current deal with the NFL and DirecTV puts a cramp in trying to make that happen right now.

Just seems like more of a chance for more money for the NFL if they had deals with other cable and satellite providers. Maybe the other providers felt that it would cost the more than what they could put into it to provide something similar to what Directv offers with the NFL Sunday Ticket.

Then again, I have Directv (although I'll probably ditch it soon) and have never paid for the Sunday Ticket. I'm sure I might if I was not living in Redskins coverage area and had the extra money to do so.
